Claire Foy happy to leave The Crown

The hit Netflix series, which starred Claire Foy and Matt Smith, has emerged as the top BAFTA frontrunner with a whopping five nominations...

Foy expertly portrayed the young queen in the early years of her reign in Season 1.

Murdered By My Father, an account of a true-life honour killing of an Asian girl which premiered on online-only BBC3, is up for best single drama, and secured a leading actor nomination for Adeel Akhtar, while BBC3 show Thirteen picked up a best leading actress nomination for Jodie Comer.

Other nominations went to BBC Two's miniseries The Hollow Crown: The Wars Of The Roses and to its Leading Actor Benedict Cumberbatch.

The Crown isn't Netflix's only BAFTA nominee either, with sci-fi hit Stranger Things looking to take the honours in the worldwide category.

Sky Atlantic mini-series The Night Of is up for a gong in the global category, competing with Fox anthology show The People V OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, sci-fi drama Stranger Things and Amazon's Transparent. It will contest the best drama series category against "The Crown", ITV and Masterpiece's "The Durrells" and the BBC's "Happy Valley".

The Crown racked up nominations for Best Drama Series, along with nominations in four acting categories.

Tom Hiddleston has surprisingly missed out on a Bafta TV nomination for his role in The Night Manager. It was Colman's sixth nomination in six years; she has won three British Academy Television Awards.

In fact, the award-winning adaptation of John Le Carré's spy thriller scored just one nod, when Tom Hollander was nominated for his portrayal of Corky, the former army major and right-hand man of arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie).

The nominations were announced by actors Andrew Buchan and Michael Coelho at BAFTA headquarters.

The final Virgin TV Bafta winners will be announced on May 14 in a ceremony hosted by Sue Perkins at London's Royal Festival Hall.
